ChaosArgate posted:I wish that were true for the supermarkets I go to. The self-checkouts often have the longest lines because everyone wants them, even the people with a full cart of groceries. My family uses the self-checkouts whenever possible because cashiers/baggers can't bag for poo poo, at least around here. You're just lucky they're not quite dumb enough to put your dish soap in with your produce. Even when we do use cashiers, mom insists on doing the bagging herself. (Then mom becomes the terrible person because if it's like $50+, she writes a check.) However, we do also still have the problem of waiting on some moron that somehow can't understand how to follow the prompts on the self-checkouts.

I've had them put raw meat on top of my veggies and my milk and bread in the same bag.

 at the idea that self-serve checkouts need to exist for stores to only use a skeleton crew. I'm not in the US, but my local supermarket hasn't bothered to get self-serve checkouts yet and I'm still lucky to see more than two (out of like ten they've pointlessly built) lanes open.

The Kroger near me closes all of their lanes after 8:00. Self-checkout only. If you get there around midnight the store is full of nurses getting off second shift quietly apologizing to everyone for self-checking a full cart of groceries for their families. Skeleton crews are one thing, but no crew except the one attendant is a new age of management masturbation. Speaking of stupid lifehacks, they don't check your ID when you sign up for the Kroger customer card. They give a 10% senior discount on all store-brand items. I don't know if it's theft but there you go.

The worst part about self service checkouts is that the person in front of you always tries to put the items back in their cart or whatever after scanning them and doesn't know how weight works. Then, while waiting for the one person the store now has working to come over and fix it you have to listen to their story about grocery purchasing in the good old days or how they don't like computers.

Lifehack: Put several large, high price items in the bottom part of your cart and go through the self-checkout while completely ignoring those items. On the small chance that you get caught, claim stupidity and apologize profusely for forgetting to scan items. Cheat the store 99% of the time - Walla(*)!! *-do not even make me explain this joke

I worked as a cook at KFC for around three years and got chicken juice/blood in my mouth and eyes dozens of times while breading chicken too fast, and have eaten very undercooked chicken by accident a couple times and nothing ever happened so I think I built up an immunity to salmonella. My phone was probably covered in raw chicken germs all the time from using the calculator app while counting chicken for inventory too, come to think of it.

This seems way better than my version: put a small item or two on the child seat thing, forget them while checking out, notice them when I'm loading everything else into my car, walk back in to pay for them.

Shwqa posted:Don't forget they have to pay union dues as well. Wait what? When I had a bagboy job when I was like 15 I didn't have any union dues. It's a lovely job, I will give you that. But common sense dictates that fragile bread or eggs shouldn't go in with heavy objects. Same goes for anything else you wouldn't normally mix. They should absolutely get paid more, but I feel that way about minimum wage in general.

Bagboys, and similar jobs, are there to give teenagers job experience. Something to cut their teeth on. It's not a career. Person works there a while, moves on to something better. What, do you expect to get 20 bucks an hour right out of the gate?
